Oh, I am so glad to see Marvin. He is a favorite of mine from years gone and for years to come. That long-suffering huffy little sigh of his when he would say, "I'm really VERY angry right now"...

I feel ya, Marv.

What would have been immortalized on my desk on Wednesday? Oddly enough, a pair of lacy underwear (from the drying rack) a half-chewed dog bone (to be tossed back in the yard) and a naked Barbie (make your best guess).** As many moms do, I gather an armload of things to be put away, then am distracted by another job that needs both hands and set down my treasures to be picked up again sometimes days later. It's made for some interesting conversations when company drops in.

Oh, my, mrs. c. Where do I start? I think the imagination races more regarding lacy underwear on the desk than a naked Barbie. But then again, I'm just not that into Barbies.

I love Marvin, too! (Well, yeah... how many other people have Marvin figures on their desks?) I like this website: http://www.gargaro.com/marvinsounds.html My favorite is the "pinch" one in the bottom right section (comp.wav).

You know what is so funny, Suz? we built the Barbie house/bookshelf as a dwelling for the Barbies and their boyfriends and children, but it's full of plastic horses. The Barbies only come into the house-turned-stable to perform vet duties...

Yup, got one soccer player now. The little man just started his first season and seems to like it. If soccer wasn't the same night and time as ballet I think we'd have a daughter playing too. At brother's first game she could barely stay on the sidelines and kept saying "I could do that, Mom!"But she told us three years ago she wanted a part in the local Little Ballet Theatre's production of "Nutcracker" someday, and has been a hard-working ballet kid ever since.

So far the soccer games have been all against kids we don't know. Next week, he goes up against the team his best buddy Jack is on. Let the fun begin....
